*50 copies limited edition* Steve Peters' sound art is completely out of the box and free. His research addresses the intimate essence of the sound of nature and things. For Peters every place is an instrument - in the literal sense and in the musical sense of the word. A place where sound already exists, or where it can be made to exist. In the form that the place suggests and that the artist's inspiration receives and regenerates. You can call it sound art or compositions, installations or songs. Either way, it's a whole new world of sound sensations.

John Cage was the first to clear the sound of nature (and also of human activities) as "music", and after him many other artists followed him. Following this path Steve Peters found his original voice in the places he's been and traveled. Most of his music has a strong connection with the environment: it’s made of it, it’s connected with it, it’s inspired by it, it’s derived from it.

Steve Peters composes music and sound for concerts, recordings, art venues, public places, dance & theater, radio, and moving image. HIs work is often site-based, combining location sound with voices, instruments, electronics, and found or natural objects. He performs with the Seattle Phonographers Union and in various improvising situations, and frequently collaborates with artists in other disciplines. He’s also a freelance producer, writer, and curator. His work has been released by 12k, Cold Blue, Palace of Lights, and several other labels. He’s the Director of Nonsequitur, a historical non-profit organization presenting adventurous music and audio art, currently via the Wayward Music Series at the Chapel Performance Space in Seattle.
